Thanks Vann. As I can see your frogs are just like mine. I think one day I wiil polish it. Even if the plane works well. Hope that Flinn will improve the Clifton standard. A good product deserves that kind of care! green. Obviously!

thank you Duncan. It seems better than mine. Almost polished

@chesirechappie. The surface is machined and has (as normal) the tool's scratches. But, as I wrote, the plane works well. You can download the complete review's pdf on this facebook page https://www.facebook.com/cliftonplanes?fref=ts The frog is flat but I promised an answer to my readers (the...

Yes Matt, the comparison with Veritas, Lie Nielsen and Woodriver is not good fort that Clifton Frog. @ Cornel: I recognize rough cast iron and milled surfaces but I wonder if that was a real choice or a minor production mistake. I never had slipping problems with fully polished frogs. As...

Hi everybody! I had a clifton plane N° 4 from Clico in august 2014 on which I wrote a review on my magazine for italian woodworkers. I found that the upper side of the frog is poorly finished while the other one face is nearly mirror polished. Yes, the plane works well but I'd like to know if...

Hi everybody! After a couple of years (or more) far from this forum I'm back. In the last two years I did a lot of things. I founded a woodworking school and I've become the publisher of Legnolab. The italian woodworking magazine I worked for in the last 6 years. I'd like to share the first...

thankyou everybody friends. It's a pleasure to see your works and to share mine! Corset, I made four articles about the table, from september to january, and a DVD too. Unfortunately the web site of the review (look for legnolab) is still in his basic version. Maybe one day the editor will...

Ciao a tutti! I was very busy in the last year so I had less time to visit this forum. One of the causes of my being away was the construction of a Louis XV stile table that I made for LegnoLab a new italian review about wood in which I work with some very skilled friends. Here a short version...

thanks a lot everybody Pete, this time is a really easy piece! Try! bye!

hope it's ok now!

stupid I was! It is a new rule and I forgot it! ok I'm going to use the old method with imageshack. wait please!

very nice! a really good idea!

A little experiment with my little lathe. No translation is needed follow the pictures from the bottom! http://forum.il-legno.it/viewtopic.php? ... ce#p238380 bye!

than you all friends. The problem, with italian companies is the weight. They ask 130 euros for one hundred kilos. I think the lathe is about 250. I'll try with english ones. bnye

The seller of the lathe in the link will kindly disassemble and prepare it for the shipping on a pallet. Does anyone know a cheap and safe shipping company? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... PIC&ih=003 thanks giacomo

oh yes! It was a phone lesson! Don't you know this way of learning? In the photo I'm talking with my teacher and I'm cutting off the little top that you can see spinning on my table saw! Next phone lesson: turning a bowl! bye!

the workshop in the pics is the one in wich I live from a couple of years. I did a lot of works inside to make it suitable as a woodworking workshop but this kind of job never ends. You can see the room with the spiral staircase still has many problems because the of high level of humidity...

some pics of the party! I tried to explain how to make a rabbet plane while another friend woodworker was teaching the many ways to build a door. In the fireplace you can see the most followed lesson... http://www.3md.it/G+G/index.html

very nice and it seems to work well. Last week I found an Ulmia blade for shoulder with chip breaker. I made my plane with a boxwood sliding mouth and I was really impressed about the feeling of that plane on the wood. I'm now starting to build a bench one now. Thanks for the good advice...

150? no problem
